I am not sure, why Holt diesn't use more of the classical Star Wars references like Leia's theme, the force theme, Luke's theme. Maybe it is a contractual thing or maybe we would have been better off with Williams new theme and Kevin Kiner merging it into his usual Clone Wars thing.

it drives me nuts that the newer shoes intentionally avoid traditional themes, particularly the force theme. I like different styles and all of that, but there are times where a statement of a traditional them not only makes sense but is essential to keep me feeling like I am in this universe as a viewer.

The nod to the Imperial March in the ending of The Spark is very obvious to me and I can't chalk it off as a mere coincidence.

 

Kind of reminds me of the droid army themes from TPM as well. 

 

 

It’s throughout this cue, but the clearest part starts about 0:31

I listened to The Spark a bunch of times today on loop. The ending is really monumental. That entire section with the repeated figure is so insistent and portentous. It is one of the most overt storytelling gestures Williams has made in some time, not afraid to double underline this moment in the film. And Williams isn't overselling the moment, it really is kinda the biggest scene in the film. 

 

Even just listening to it on the album it's mighty clear that something very major and super dramatic is happening on screen.

 

It is a superb piece of film scoring. 

 

I love this underlying cue more than most on the soundtrack. It was featured in some of the trailers as well. It has elements of the Imperial March and is similar to the Droid Army motif used in TPM. Would love to hear it more front and center!
